With the World Series over, the housecleaning for all Major Leagues teams is in the works and that includes the Blue Jays.

On Friday they announced they had exercised the club options for 2014 on DH/IB Adam Lind ($7 million), closer Casey Janssen ($4 million) and reserve infielder Mark DeRosa ($750,000).

They also declined to pick up a $1 million option on infielder Munenori Kawasaki, who was extremely popular with the fans and his teammates.

Sentiment didn’t override the fact that Kawasaki hit just .218 with almost zero power, had limited range and a below average throwing arm. However, he performed as well as he could in the absence of shortstop Jose Reyes and by his quirky routines and little-engine-that-could spirit of play, he replaced the departed John McDonald in the hearts of the fans.

He could still return on a minor-league contract.

While some may have thought the Jays could do better than Lind at the DH spot, he remains a relatively cheap (it would have cost the Jays $2 million to release him) addition for the productivity he produces.

The left-handed hitter offers power from that side and even though he struggled when facing left-handed pitchers, he batted .288 with 23 home runs and 67 RBIs.

Janssen, who was good on 34 of 36 save opportunities, is a steal at $4 million.

So too is DeRosa at $750,000. The veteran was signed last year to act as a babysitter for Brett Lawrie, to teach him the ways of the game and help settle him down. He did that and also came though with the bat as he was the Jays best pinch-hitter.

At the end of the season he was talking retirement so we’ll see how that plays out.

By picking up the options on the trio, the Jays have now committed $120 million to 16 players in 2014 which means their payroll will have to increase off last year.

They also will have to pay out hefty raises to CF Colby Rasmus, C J.P. Arencibia, RHP Esmil Rogers and LHP Brett Cecil who are all eligible for arbitration.

General manager Alex Anthopoulos has said in the past that payroll would not be a problem. But by how much? That will be the sticky point.

On another note, LF Melky Cabrera, LHP Brett Cecil, RHP Brandon Morrow, INF Maicer Izturis and LHP Juan Perez were all reinstated from the 60-day disabled list and added to the 40-man roster.

RHP Josh Johnson and RHP Ramon Ortiz were reinstated from the 60-day DL and are now free agents. They join OF Rajai Davis and LHP Darren Oliver on the free agent list.

If the Jays want to bring Johnson back they will have to pony up $14.1 million on a one-year pact to receive compensation should he turn them down and sign elsewhere.

All these moves do not address the Jays problems.

They are in need of a second baseman, perhaps a left fielder and certainly a catcher as well as a starting pitcher or two.

Filling those needs should be both the fun and frustrating part for both the fans and Anthopoulos.
